Hankook Ventus R-S3 (Z222)

As a successor to the track-proven Ventus R-S2 Z212, and compliment to the Ventus Z214 racing tires, Hankook Tire has applied its latest motorsports technology to improve dry-grip performance by 30 percent; further enhancing the tire's handling capabilities. The profile has been developed to maximize the footprint contact patch.

The Ventus R-S3 Z222 also features a unique "flame" design which is molded into the tread that will be aesthetically pleasing to consumers looking to show off their vehicle's "hot" new shoes.

As drifting, Time Attack and autocross competitions continue to gain popularity across North America and influence the marketplace, Hankook looks to deliver category-leading performance both on the street and on the track. The new Ventus R-S3 Z222 will prove to be a great investment for enthusiast consumers, delivering a high quality UHP street tire that seamlessly meets the demands of on-track motorsports performance.

Love these tires. Just the right amount of sticky once heated up. Not much noise made once you drive on them a few times. Put them on a 1000hp skyline and did a launch and now he wants these tires because they're amazing... As for snow, as someone who lives in Canada I can say grip is non-existent, even when driving a car with only 250 pounds of torque.

A great tire for street and track use. On track it tolerates high temperatures well with no significant graining and no chunking. The wear rate is quite good considering the type of driving I've done. It's a very comfortable tire for road use, but it would be nice if the sidewall was a little stiffer for track, but that could be down to my tire size.
